uninvited wedding guest, i took it upon myself to do some royal reception menu planning. first stop in the culinary quest, lily's victorian establishment right here in new york. so with chef chris' blessing we headed to the kitchen, which, because we're british as can be, was roughly 987 degrees celsius. don't check that math. but a lot of heat is exactly what you need to make the perfect beef wellington, a dish widely speculated to be on the menu. it is a pastry on the outside, a layer of prosciutto, then a mushroom mixture around a perfectly-cooked piece of beef tenderloin. >> we want to sear the loin and get color on the outside. because remember we'll be putting the tenderloin back into the oven. >> reporter: after searing two lovely pieces of meat on to the mushroom mixture.

next up, rolling the meat. >> this is the most important part of making beef wellington. if you've seen somebody make a sushi roll, it's kind of the same thing. >> reporter: totally a giant british sushi roll. he rolled it as tight as can be. >> it's so packed in there. >> it's got to be tight. >> reporter: get it right. get it tight. >> that's right. >> reporter: they're probably not going to be saying that at the royal wedding. >> probably not. >> reporter: and placed in the fridge to cool for 20 minutes. after unraveling the saran wrap carefully, it was time to add our dough with egg wash that i interpret with artistic excellence. >> gently roll towards the front. trim down here, and then you're going to crimp your edges here.
